Since the launch of KTM Duke 125 in India, most buyers are confused about the top speed of this first 125cc premium motorcycle. Rough Rider Azam is here with a white KTM 125 Duke, testing all the important values that an everyday rider can achieve on the motorcycle. However, certain values may vary with the direction of the wind and weight of the rider. The 0-60 kph for the Duke 125 comes in just 5.4 seconds while 0-100 kph comes in 14.7 seconds.
The motorcycle achieves a top speed of 125 kph before struggling to keep up the momentum. All the values mentioned here are speedo-indicated and could have a small error like most motorcycles. KTM 125 Duke is powered by a 124.7cc, single cylinder engine, producing 14.5 PS and 12 Nm. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The 125 Duke costs INR 1.18 lakh (ex-showroom) in New Delhi.
